Abstract: This paper presents a time-dependent finite-element analysis of a two I-girder composite bridge with a concrete slab. The creep and shrinkage of the concrete slab are considered as sources of time-dependent behavior. This ...

Abstract: The strength of longitudinally continuous stiffened steel plates, exhibiting column-like behavior under uniaxial compression, was investigated at ultimate as well as serviceability limit states. Compressive strengths were ...
